Chapter 244 - 245: Making a Wish
After all, this is a lounge room, and people may come in at any time.
Of course, Gu Qichen would not do anything improper.
After teasing his wife a bit, he left the room with satisfaction.
Xia Yangyang followed, her pouting lips resembling a goldfish.
The party outside was still in full swing with guests lively chatting and drinking.
Gu Qichen suddenly paused, turned around, put one hand behind his back, and extended the other, performing a very gentlemanly invitation gesture.
Xia Yangyang was momentarily dazzled and then asked, “What are you doing?” “Wondering if I have the honour to invite Miss Xia for a dance.” Gu Qichen said with a deep voice, exuding an unspeakable magnetism.
Xia Yangyang pursed her lips and gracefully placed her hand in his palm, like a proud swan saying, “I grant you this honour.”
The two of them entered the dance floor together.
Xia Yangyang learned to dance from a teacher invited by Shen Shichuan because she had to dance in a scene for a film.
But up to that moment, Xia Yangyang had never danced with Gu Qichen.
The feeling was completely different.
Gu Qichen’s palm was dry and warm, and they were so close that she could smell his distinctive clean scent.
Gu Qichen’s face wore a rare expression of warmth, under the golden glow of the overhead crystal chandelier.
Gazing at Gu Qichen, Xia Yangyang felt as if this man was also shining, and it was captivating.
After their eyes met for a little while, Gu Qichen lowered his head and kissed Xia Yangyang’s lips…
Amid the soothing waltz, sounds of gasps and whistles rang out in surprised admiration.
Everyone, who was initially dancing, had stopped.
All their eyes fell on them.
Under normal circumstances, Xia Yangyang would feel embarrassed by such attention.
But at that moment, she felt as if she was immersed in it. Everything else disappeared, leaving only Gu Qichen and the dazzling light around him.
Xia Yangyang thought of a saying, “It’s like seeing a rainbow. You only know it exists when you encounter it.”
There were scattered applause and cheers all around.
Mostly, there were envious comments from women.
“Mr. Gu and Miss Xia are a perfect match, like a real-life prince and princess.” “Indeed, Miss Xia is truly a winner in life. Though not the most beautiful or having the best background, she’s the one Mr. Gu favors.”
“Weiwei, with your sister marrying Mr. Gu, you’ll surely benefit. Mr. Gu is surrounded by many outstanding talents. Maybe he could introduce you to one. Who knows, you might have a bright future.”
Watching this scene, Xia Weiwei was so angry she couldn’t speak a word.
Almost gritting her teeth, she said, “I wonder how long the two of them will last.”
After speaking, she stomped off.
By the time Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen went home, it was already late.
Once inside the car, Xia Yangyang felt her stomach growling with hunger.
She barely had anything to eat that night.
However, Gu Qichen said, “There’s something to eat in the back seat.”
When Xia Yangyang turned to look, she nearly screamed, “A birthday cake, when did you buy it?”
Xia Yangyang quickly grabbed it and opened the box.
The cake was not very large but it was exquisitely cute.
Xia Yangyang started eating immediately with a spoon.
Gu Qichen frowned and said, “You didn’t even make a wish.”
“Oh yes, I forgot about it.”
After saying that, Xia Yangyang put the cake on her lap, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and made a wish.
’What wish did you make?” Gu Qichen asked.
